RE WE REALLY 80,8AD?
The ‘Norwulks for some time 1111111
had more than their deserved
prominence bc‘fore‘the public—it prom
n“ ce that has in most instances been
i damaging and disginccful char

certain directions, without the baiancr‘
sound Judgment has led to criti
l—cism‘s that are unwarranted and prob
. ably caused conclusions to be draw

‘ from past efforts in certain direc
,. ions it might with reason he inform
that we are deficient in a genera
iioWledge and conception of the prin
i lost commensurate with good gov i
S
nment, and that our people are Edi
d to evil almost beyond the hop
reclamation. Add to this the recon j
_ clamation that its press is not onl

The last charge—the condemnation

line] to give an unbiased account of
whatever of a public character t1 ans
pires connedted with the strike. The
statements of both sides have been
given equal publicity and prominence.
The Sentinel, we believe, has a fair
conception of the issue, and believes
that it is to be a struggle to the finish,
and that it will end in a complete
victory for one side or the other. Ile-
feat for the liniters' Union means the
loss of what they have contended tor
from the beginning of their organiza-
tion—what they consider a deserved
consideration of their interests in what
their labor produces. and a fair share
of its financial benefits. To accomplish
this they believe that union labor can
not participate with independent labor
in production and give to the product
of union labor the distinctive charac-
Thc C. & K. Co. has raised the pres
ent issue by declaring that it will not
be limited to the employment of union
labor exclusively. and that the firm.
together with the other members of
the lint Manufacturers' Association,
will not use the union label on the
product of their factory. There is no
question of wages or shop conditions.
but a clear cut contest in which there
is no place for compromise and 111
no wise an opportunity for mediation.
There is nothing to arbitrate. Neither
party can concede anything without
conceding everything.
As to the right of the parties to try
conclusions there can be no question.

must also be admitted that then- is;

general public unquestionably deplores

to the union. Each has 11 better con-
ception of their relations to the other
than we could possibly conceive. What
might not be considered vital to 1111
may be considered 111i important to
them. if there is a means of adjusv
inept that would terminate this con-
tent, and have both parties feel that
agreeable relations could be resumed
between them. it would be to none
more gratifying than The Sentinel.
With this statement We desire to
assure the general public outside our
town that we are not in a state of
turmoil. ‘ Unquestlonably there is
strong feeling and determination on
both sides. and each is using every ef-
fort in win. While the strain is tense,
feeling is under good control. Noth-
ing has occurred to require outside
assistance in maintaining order. Dis-
pleasure undoubtedly is manifested in
many ways, but overt acts have been
few and not of an alarming nature.
if present counsel prevails and present
conduct continues this strike will be
one marked for its orderly character.
The Sentinel will continue to be the
medium for the diffusion of the know-
ledge it may obtain of the situation
irom day to day, cutircly without bias.
